STATE SONGSTATE SONGAlaska's Flag Written by Marie Drake
Composed by Elinor DusenburyEight stars of gold on a field of blue -
Alaska's flag. May it mean to you The blue of the sea, the evening sky,
The mountain lakes, and the flow'rs nearby;The gold of the early sourdough's dreams,The precious gold of the hills and streams;
The brilliant stars in the northern sky, The "Bear" - the "Dipper" - and, shining high,
The great North Star with its steady light, Over land and sea a beacon bright.
Alaska's flag - to Alaskans dear, The simple flag of a last frontier.
